I don't know how helpful this is, but chatting with the Grape & Granary
last week, which is in eastern OH (Cleveland?), I found that he gets a
shipment of grapes every year (at least for his own use). He may be a
possible source . . .

I'm probably a year or two from considering that; I expect that I'll get
a few buckets of fresh juice this fall.
